I think this is either a canyon towhee or a green-tailed towhee; but can someone positively ID it for me?
Thanks,
Jane

Thanks Pelle & Resin ... I was leaning more toward canyon; just never saw one with its crest so poofy. |

Raised crown feathers like that is often a sign of anxiety / alarm in birds - maybe you were close to its nest?
